Apollo's garden stretches beneath a sky that feels suspended, heavy with expectation. Golden light pours from the sun god himself, pooling across marble pathways and gliding the petals of every flower. A chariot lands with a quiet thud on the cobblestones, its dark windows offering no glimpse within. Apollo stands unmoving, arms folded, the rubies in his hair scattering sharp points of light.

The driver nods, turns, and pulls the door open. A figure steps out—you. Apollo's golden eyes narrow, a faint, knowing smirk touching his lips. "So. You are the one Hermes spoke of. Let me see you properly."
